* Correct the description of im_class. (Fred, this is changed in 2.2.Guido van Rossum2001-12-071-1/+1
| | | | Should this be labeled as changed? How?)
* Revise description of dumbdbm.open() to reflect that the flag argument isFred Drake2001-12-071-7/+7
| | | | | ignored and that mode was ignored before Python 2.2. This closes SF bug #490098.
* Describe the behavior of the read() method when the list of filenamesFred Drake2001-12-071-0/+18
| | | | | | includes files that do not exist, explain the intended use of the interface, and show how to ensure an expected file really exists. This closes SF bug #490399.

* For ratecv, document that None should be the initial state argument (whenTim Peters2001-12-061-1/+2
| | | | | I was squashing spurious overflows in the implementation, I got hung up on this point).
* Re-enabled debugging prints in poplib & documented the set_debuglevel()Fred Drake2001-12-051-1/+9
| | | | | method. This closes SF patch #486079.
* asyncore.loop() description contributed by Skip Montanaro.Fred Drake2001-12-051-0/+14
| | | | This closes SF bug #489513.
* Added documentation of the sendall() method, and a note to the send() methodFred Drake2001-12-051-0/+13
| | | | | that it does not guarantee that all data is sent. This closes SF patch #474307.
* Added entry for the "cgitb" module docs.Fred Drake2001-12-041-0/+1

* Documentation for the "cgitb" module.Fred Drake2001-12-041-0/+40

* Add a note that the rgbimg module is only built on 32-bit machines (promptedFred Drake2001-12-041-2/+5
| | | | | by a question to webmaster). Re-wrapped a long line.
* Update docs to reflect new compile() and compileFile()Jeremy Hylton2001-12-041-3/+18
|
* Slightly improved indexing for the string-% operator, thanks to commentsFred Drake2001-12-031-1/+2
| | | | | from Skip Montanaro. There is one weirdness in the final index for HTML, but that is low priority.
* Added documentation on the ScrolledText module.Fred Drake2001-12-031-0/+37
|
* Minor clarification of the zip() description, based on a comment sent toFred Drake2001-12-031-1/+1
| | | | python-docs.
* Make no assumption about how modules are built when referring to them; thisFred Drake2001-12-031-4/+3
| | | | | can vary by platform and installation. Based on suggestion to python-docs.
* Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are notFred Drake2001-12-031-30/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mutable! We do not want to shock anyone. This closes SF bug #483805. Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not repeated in both the descriptions of mmap(). Also, only make sure the first description of mmap() appears in the index. The the index link is followed, the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good both will be visible. This avoids the problem that the index entry for the second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.
* Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pairFred Drake2001-12-032-9/+6
| | | | | | of references that now state that these attributes have been removed, directing the reader to the dir() function. This closes SF bug #456420.
* Clean up some material that is not part of the standard documentation.Fred Drake2001-12-031-43/+7
| | | | This closes SF bug #487308.
* Add reference to the "String Methods" section to make that informationFred Drake2001-12-021-0/+3
| | | | | easier to find. Based on the comment from Steve Alexander on the zope-coders mailing list.
* Add description of tkCommonDialog.Fred Drake2001-11-301-0/+1
|
* Change the chapter title to reflect the Tk affinity.Fred Drake2001-11-301-5/+5
| | | | | Use the new seealso* environment in the section pointing out other GUI toolkits.
* Minor adjustments to markup for the getDOMImplementation() description.Fred Drake2001-11-301-10/+13
|
* Added the convenience constants that are present in PyXML to make theseFred Drake2001-11-301-0/+35
| | | | more similar.
* Updated documentation for the new httplib interface, by Kalle Svensson.Fred Drake2001-11-301-79/+139

* Various cleanups & markup fixes, mostly relating to the stat and statvfsFred Drake2001-11-291-38/+77
| | | | result object changes.
* Neil Schemenauer suggested a small improvement to one of the example REs.Fred Drake2001-11-291-1/+1

* writeline() --> writelines()Fred Drake2001-11-291-1/+1
| | | | This closes SF bug #487147.
* New section of regular expression examples contributed by Skip Montanaro,Fred Drake2001-11-291-0/+56
| | | | | with some extensions and changes from me. This closes SF patch #472825.
* Re-arrange the modules in the "Internet Data Handling" chapter to try toFred Drake2001-11-281-9/+15
| | | | achieve a more sensible organization.
* Clarify that on some systems, lockf() using LOCK_EX requires that the fileFred Drake2001-11-281-4/+9
| | | | | | | is opened for writing; this closes SF bug #485342. Added notes that file objects are also accepted in the place of file descriptors.
* Add synopsis for the SimpleXMLRPCServer module; used in the chapter-levelFred Drake2001-11-281-0/+1
| | | | list of modules.
* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-2830-140/+140
| | | | | | | | parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
* Typo, spotted by Detlef Lannert.Fred Drake2001-11-261-1/+1
|
* Tk-related modules should no longer be listed here.Fred Drake2001-11-261-13/+0
|
* Fix typo, extra markup constructs.Fred Drake2001-11-261-6/+6
| | | | This closes SF bug #485252.

* Update the platform notes for the CGIHTTPServer module; it works on moreFred Drake2001-11-191-3/+3
| | | | | platforms now, and has since Python 2.0. This closes SF bug #482943.
* Fix the default value for feature_namespaces, per discussions on the XML-SIGFred Drake2001-11-191-2/+2
| | | | mailing list. This causes the docs to match the default implementation.
* Paul Rubin reminds me that of course a class's constructor /could/ getBarry Warsaw2001-11-181-4/+6
| | | | called, if the pickler found a __getinitargs__() method.
* Clarified a couple of issues for the startElement*() handlers:Fred Drake2001-11-181-8/+18
| | | | | | | | | - the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation cannot rely on owning the object. - an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI of None, not "" (startElementNS() only). Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.
* Relatively large expansion of the docs for gc.garbage.Tim Peters2001-11-181-5/+19
|
* Toughen up the security warnings a bit.Barry Warsaw2001-11-161-8/+13
|
* Add a clarification that the email package always deals in native lineBarry Warsaw2001-11-161-1/+13
| | | | | endings, and that it is smtplib's job to convert those to RFC 2821 line endings when sending the message.
* Clean up some markup a little bit more. Make this work with the PDF format,Fred Drake2001-11-161-43/+56
| | | | | which is a little more strict than the other formats on some things (fixable, but not tonight).
* Document the urlsplit() and urlunsplit() functions.Fred Drake2001-11-161-0/+19
|
* Switched a couple of sections around.Fred Drake2001-11-161-245/+279
| | | | | Cleaned up some markup nits. Add a few more of the Tk-related modules to the list of modules.
* A few minor updates to make it clear(er) that pickle should be usedBarry Warsaw2001-11-151-2/+8
| | | | | | instead of marshal for object serialization. Fred, please proofread!
* A massive rewrite affecting both the pickle and cPickle moduleBarry Warsaw2001-11-151-232/+610
| | | | | | | | documentation. This addresses previously undocumented parts of the public interfaces, the differences between pickle and cPickle, security concerns, and on and on. Fred please proofread!
